World-class optics

7.1x Zoom plus fast f/2 max aperture lens yields incredible results

Every COOLPIX camera is built around a genuine NIKKOR glass lens, the lens in the COOLPIX P7800 is no exception. It has an f/2 maximum aperture—pros call it a "fast" lens, you'll call it incredible. Create photos and videos with tack sharp subjects against beautifully blurred backgrounds, and shoot without a flash in situations you wouldn't think possible. It has a 7.1x wide-angle to telephoto zoom range—capture 180°/360° panoramas as easily as detailed close-ups. You even can get as close as 2cm from your subject for exciting macro shots. And with lens-shift Vibration Reduction (VR), you never have to worry about a little camera shake ruining a shot.

Superior low-light performance

High-performance CMOS image sensor lets you shoot without a flash

Imagine being able to shoot without a flash at weddings, concerts, parties—anywhere your flash normally fires. You won't have to interrupt a moment to capture it, and your photos and HD videos will look more natural and true to your memory. The COOLPIX P7800 performs so well in low light situations that, in most cases, using the flash is optional. Of course, when the lighting is extremely poor and you need a flash, it'll be there.

Precise high resolution monitors

Shooting conditions vary, so the COOLPIX P7800 has two viewing systems: a large 3-inch 921,000-dot Vari-angle display that swings and swivels to provide easy viewing from almost any position, plus an electronic Eye-Level viewfinder for D-SLR-style shooting. Find exciting new perspectives by swiveling out the Vari-angle display and moving the camera around—raise it overhead or move it to ground-level for suprirsing new views. When conditions require, use the bright 921,000-dot Electronic Eye-Level viewfinder and frame exactly the shot you want.

The COOLPIX P7800 is so easy to use, anyone can take great photos and videos with it. Just turn the camera on, point, shoot and marvel at the results.

Great little gem!!
I love it!! Great little camera, I use it all day long, I can make beautiful prints of 11"X14" like in my D800 with no problem. The viewfinder really helps to my needs.
Simply the coolpix P7800 is awesome.

Not flawless but very, very good.
Image quality, ease of shooting, and collection of features should please most owners. The viewfinder is good with or without glasses (even for myself at -4.0 diopter). It's linear, plenty large, and sharp enough for careful manual focusing and routine use. Some fault the viewfinder's weak colors, but a viewfinder is for composing, not viewing. The lens and image quality according to reviews are mainly why I selected this model. They both exceed my expectations. The only flaw is the image gets shifted while zooming out, but this should only matter if you plan to shoot videos on a tripod, probably not noticeable when hand held. The dedicated quick +/- exposure wheel is great for challenging lighting, such as people on a stage dark backgrounds. The camera Is excellent for technical, such as tight-fitting macro work or copying on a stand, thanks to its lens distortion correction and articulated screen. Construction seems very solid. There are better cameras for sports, but for controlled stills and general snapshots, it does everything I need. I would give 4 stars based on the zoom problem, but that would be a bit misleading for a minor problem given how well it performs overall.

My secret to great images!
This is my secret weapon when Im traveling and can't carry a DSLR. Its great when I am doing any kind of sports like skiing or horseback riding and perfect for vacations. The quality and ease of use is amazing. Whether you are telling a story about your family, a vacation you took, or its about an important event, a wedding or you are a professional photographer like me its all about story telling. GREAT technology does not get in the way of storytelling. thats what nikon does. I highly recommend this camera.

Great camera when you don't want to carry kit
Agree with pretty much everything said here already. Exceptional images from small sensor. Must have EVF would not own a camera without a viewfinder. Solid build, fits hand well. Fast lens with good range and image stabilization. Plenty of controls allow you to easily control all aspects of the process, or simply go program and let the camera do all the work for you. Rotating screen makes it easy to get low and high angles. Great all round camera that has become my carry around choice.

Love the camera! It meets all my needs and then some! Great image quality.
I want to echo the sentiments of the folks already who have indicated that the camera is a gem. The macro image quality is great. It even has bokeh in such a tiny image format, so portraits and such are nice. Will eventually add a small flash to augment the one on the camera.
